What Is Imagine Language & Literacy?

Imagine Language & Literacy is a supplemental reading and ELA curriculum that simultaneously accelerates both literacy skills and English language development through personalized learning. It’s aligned to the science of reading and provides explicit, systematic instruction in foundational reading skills.

Why Become a Research Partner?

Imagine Learning invites school districts to take part in a research study evaluating the impact of Imagine Language & Literacy on student reading outcomes. This research will empower both your district and schools nationwide to make data-driven decisions that improve student outcomes.

Access to a high-quality digital literacy program

Half of your students will receive access to Imagine Language & Literacy, a program designed to teach students to read by enhancing their language and literacy skills skills—key competencies for 21st-century success. Access may be extended to all students after the completion of the study.

Meaningful data to drive change

Your district will receive in-depth reports and insights from the study. The results will allow you to compare students using the program with those who aren’t, providing powerful evidence to guide future curricular decisions.

A national impact

By joining this study, your district will contribute to research that has the potential to transform literacy education nationwide. The data collected will help schools across the country implement best practices for digital learning.

What Does This Research Study Look Like?

1

Use Imagine Language & Literacy for supplemental reading instruction in some classrooms

How do you determine who uses the program?

Most commonly, teachers are given the choice to opt into using the program in their classroom.

What about classrooms that do not use Imagine Language & Literacy?

Non-user classrooms will continue with whatever instructional practices and curriculum are already in place.

2

Spend at least 60 minutes per week in Imagine Language & Literacy. Spend 15–20 minutes per session working in the program.

Spend approximately 30 minutes per week reviewing program data and planning the next steps before students start or after they complete work for the week, or check in when necessary. Routine tasks include ensuring all students are meeting the minimum usage and completion goals and observing opportunities for small or whole-group follow-up based on lesson performance.

3

Administer a standardized benchmark reading assessment

Who has to take in the evaluation?

All participating students in both user and non-user classrooms must take the assessment.

Will this be a new assessment?

If your district already administers a standardized reading assessment (e.g., NWEA, Renaissance Star), no additional assessments need to be administered. If not, we can explore new assessment options.

What is the value of comparative research studies?

Experts agree that comparative research provides conclusive information regarding program effectiveness. While this research design requires the selection of program users and non-user groups, it provides many benefits, including:

Fair and balanced research

To truly evaluate the program’s effectiveness, it’s essential to have a control group (students who do not use the program) to compare outcomes. This ensures the findings are scientifically sound and can lead to lasting improvements in education.

Opportunity for future program expansion

Access to Imagine Language & Literacy may be expanded to all students after the completion of the study. Implement the program in additional classrooms with experience and confidence.

No student left behind

Even without Imagine Language & Literacy in the first year, all control group students will continue to receive the high-quality instruction already provided by your schools. The control group will still benefit from the high instructional standards your district maintains.
